Enjoying the Library A Library Skills Program for Primary Schools Level 7 The Enjoying the Library series comprises seven sequential packages, catering for all Year levels in the primary school. The packages are self-explanatory and have been designed for use in any library, regardless of the number of resources available to the students.

It should be stressed that the activities in the series are designed to be used by both classroom teachers and library specialists.

The series involves a thorough library program. The emphasis is on 'hands on' experience as this not only caters for individual abilities and differences but also gives students the opportunity to explore the resources available in the library.

The aim of this program is to make students independent library users who can choose and use appropriate, relevant library resources. Specific references to many parts of the shelves have been made to enable students to become familiar with the wide range of subjects offered.

Each package contains some forty activities lasting approximately thirty minutes each.

This provides a complete year-long library study program. However, in many schools a second period per week is also given. It is important that in this second session all students are given the opportunity to borrow resources. Lower primary students enjoy this time to be read a range of stories or be given the opportunity to complete any library work.

Suggestions for further research are given in the packages for the middle and upper primary Year levels. Appropriately, a research question relating to specific classroom activities should be given.
